3-bedroom, 2 full bath home nestled among the trees, offering a peaceful, lodge-like retreat just minutes from town. Fresh paint throughout the main living areas and a brand-new furnace make this home move-in ready. The great room features a skylight that fills the space with natural light and looks out to green trees in every direction. Back-to-back fireplaces warm both the living room and third bedroom, adding warmth and charm. Enjoy easy main-level living with a spacious deck—perfect for morning coffee while watching birds at the feeder, spotting deer passing by, or relaxing as the sunset filters through the trees. At night, fall asleep to the sound of owls in this quiet, nature-filled setting. The lower level offers a large bonus space ideal for a home gym, hobbies, or extra living area, along with abundant storage and a brand-new sliding door that goes out to a deck and fenced yard. Septic inspection complete with no issues. Large driveway with room for extra vehicles, plus street parking and a 2-car garage. Located near nature trails and close to Toad Lake—one of the county’s best stocked lakes for opening day fishing, swimming, and floating—this home offers the perfect balance of outdoor adventure and everyday convenience, just a short drive to Barkley Village.
